Common mistakes

  • Mistaking Gestampte Muisjes for a box of chocolates

    Jumbo lists De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes as a bread topping. So a pack of sprinkle topping won’t automatically work as a chocolate gift.

    Decide what the occasion calls for before comparing products: are you looking for a topping for bread or rusk, or a box of chocolates to give as a gift?

  • Assuming something is organic because of the shop or product name

    Where you shop or the name of a product doesn’t tell you whether that specific pack is labelled as organic. Skal Biocontrole explains that the EU organic logo is compulsory for pre-packed foods produced in the EU and sold as organic.

    Check the EU organic logo, the control code and the origin statement on the packaging you’ve chosen.

  • Not checking the current label

    HollandSnackExpress lists wheat and cereals containing gluten for De Ruijter Gestampte Muisjes. Ingredients and allergen information can change.

    Check the ingredients and allergens on the packaging you’re actually buying.
